At InfoComm 2014 this week in Las Vegas, Core Brands is marking the 40th anniversary of its Furman brand, a premier provider of power purification and management solutions. Founded in 1974, Furman continues to serve the professional A/V power conditioning and distribution market, and is now delivering energy management solutions through the cloud-based BlueBOLT platform.

At the show, Furman is presenting the BB-RS232 adaptor which brings BlueBOLT energy management to the Furman Contractor Series of products, beginning with the Furman CN-1800S, CN-2400S and CN-3600S E. The platform gives commercial integrators the solutions already benefitting the residential CI market, including remote re-boots that substantially reduce service calls.

“The world has changed immensely in 40 years, and our products have never been more relevant than they are today — especially as companies and individuals become more connected and reliant on electronic systems to help them work, play, communicate and live,” states John Benz, director of power and accessories at Core Brands. “As electronics become more mission-critical than ever, keeping systems healthy is not just about power. We’re committed to delivering a solid foundation of power, energy and network management that creates a reliable infrastructure for our customers. We are grateful to our loyal customers for trusting Furman over the past 40 years, and we fully intend to continue innovating on their behalf.”

Benz adds, “Furman’s long history of engineering power products has provided us with a rich knowledge base and legacy to continue our tradition of innovating and building better products year in, year out. It’s challenging to maintain market leadership for as long as we have. We owe our success to our focus on listening to and understanding our customers’ needs, and then applying our expertise to develop products that meet their requirements even in the most demanding applications.”
